Last Thing You Bought?

Moll Flanders said:
I bought a few things as we have been so frugal for ages that it is getting ridiculous, lol. All our money seems to be going to the vet at the moment so we thought we would buy a few things for us!

A new rebounder, concert tickets, some music memorabilia, a computer game, a picture frame and a scented candle.

How do you like the 'mini trampoline'? If I see one cheap enough I think I'll try it, it sounds like way more fun than other excersize.

I love the Japanese fried rice and the mandarin chicken.
 
I spent a good bit on No Whey Chocolate. What a disappointment.
 
Two CDs from my concert tonight, one by Opeth and one by The Sword, who were really good as the openers.

Yes, it's meant to be very good exercise and it stimulates lymph flow, improves sinuses etc...:) I bought a new one as I read that the more expensive ones were better, but I had the £40 ones for years and they were fine. I would like to have a garden so I could use it outside, I use it indoors listening to music or TV.

So funny...son just came upstairs and said, "what's up with these chocolates?" I told him where they were from and said he was welcome to try some but that I was very disappointed in them, finding them to be very dry and not creamy tasting at all. He proceeds to sample some of the bon bons and the peanut butter bar and said they are awesome, lol. At least they won't go to waste. :)

I seriously found them so bad that I wasn't even going to bring them in to work to have my work peeps eat them. I was concerned that they would judge them badly because they are vegan. The chocolates were two minutes from being thrown in the garbage! So glad son will eat them.

Is it possible that being veg*an for a while makes our palates more discerning and elevates our standards to a really high level? :p

A can of Simple Truth organic diced tomatoes, two small onions, two bags of unsalted Kettle chips, a Simple Truth organic roasted vegetable pizza, and a Simple Truth organic Margherita pizza. :) I've always gotten the roasted veggie one 'cuz others had different cheeses that didn't say non-animal rennet/enzymes.... but even the Parmesan on the Margherita one says microbial enzymes! :D I'm so glad organic food companies like Amy's & Simple Truth have gone that route.... :yes:

Something a little more fun than a vet visit...a stand for my cell phone from Amazon. Works really well and even has a slot for the charger so I can use it while the phone is charging. Makes using the keyboard a breeze, too!

My friend and I hit up Goodwill and Reny's in Maine:
A pair of cargo capris (to replace the ones I will have to retire soon because of wear)
A flannel shirt
A pound of walnuts (for $5, much cheaper than the grocery store)
A vegan chocolate bar
Two boxes of maple creme cookies (accidentally vegan, yahooooo!)
A skein of brown acrylic yarn

A furnace filter from amazon! I got the new furnace a couple years ago and they put in a big media filter. They said replacement was like $100. every couple years. I ordered it from amazon for $39! Same brand.
It also gave me the opportunity to get the cold season variety case of Yogi teas! Great stuff!
They've added a 'honey lemon throat comfort' that's vegan. No honey-LOL
